Indya Moore, who portrays Angel Evangelista, celebrated the exciting news on Instagram and wrote, "This is so incredibly meaningful and timely. The world needs Pose. We need Pose. I need Pose."

When it first premiered in 2018, Pose made history as the scripted series with the most transgender actors appearing as series regulars ever. The show has also gone on to receive numerous accolades. It was nominated for best drama series at the 2019 Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Television Awards, while Billy Porter was nominated at both awards shows for his portrayal of Pray Tell. Pose has also received a GLAAD Media Award, and was among the entertainment honourees at the 2018 Peabody Awards.
